ive been made redundant today, for the 2nd time in 2.5 years, i dont have my 17th edition or my 2391. Im looking into options and realise these 2 qualifications are going to be essential for me to either obtain a new job or go flying solo n take on the world ha. Im time served came out of my time in november 2009 so im wondering where to start with these courses. im abit reluctant to fork out for the 2391 straight away just with the pass rate etc n my own confidence. although the 17th i know you used to be able to do exam only dont think thats possible any more, So for those of you in the know where do i start with the 17th. what course do i need to sit or am i able to sit? im looking for the cheapest shortest route but abit unsure with this?

LOL well yeah, but it was a nice surprise to be allowed to take the exam with no course attatched especially having no 16th. The local colleges wanted the full force of my wallet to descend upon their coffers to even entertain me.

anyone can get their installs signed of by building control but you will have to notify them before you start work and this is expensive, anywhere between £120-£220, you can sign off your own work if you are registered with a scheme, you only need to be 17th edition to register ( and of course pay your yearly fee)

mate if youve genuinely been made redundant go to your local job center and they will put you on courses cant remember the formal name for the situation/reasoning but i know you will definately be able to get your 2391 and 17th ed for free go down and speak to them do it mate
